Looking for ideas on how to make a isometric boiler drawing.

You need a 30 degree geometry triangle (or special isometric drawing paper that is ruled with 30 degree lines).

Rules for making an isometric drawing are that horizontal lines are at 30 degree angle from horizontal and vertical lines are vertical.

If your perspective is looking at the object from the Northwest to the southeast: A pipe running south will slope up 30 degrees to the right. A pipe running east will slope up 30 degrees to the left.

Attached is an example.

Good luck.

    Hello all. I'm currently a steamfitter apprentice and have been tasked with doing a isometric boiler drawing. I'm looking for any ideas where to go to find some helpful examples. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks.

    ... Berol RapiDesign R-43 isometric piping template. They're plastic, and only cost a few bucks. Also, find a copy of IPT's "Pipe Trades Handbook". It's about $25. It'll fit into your jacket pocket or toolbox. Nothing specific on boilers, pumps, etc, but it covers pretty much every type of tubing, pipe, fitting, valve & joint you can imagine.

    Another good one is IPT's "Guide to Blueprint Interpretation". It's only available in the instructor's edition (larger & coil-bound so you can see the drawings better, and about $50). Excellent book for mechanical construction trades because it has it's focus on things like pumphouses, large boiler rooms, etc.
